APPALACHIAN REGIONAL PORT

Connecting the mid-South to the world

A gateway to global markets

The Appalachian Regional Port is a joint effort of the state of Georgia, Murray County, the Georgia Ports Authority and CSX Transportation. The new inland rail terminal, which opened in August 2018, provides a powerful new gateway to global markets.

Efficient alternative to an all-truck dray to/from the deepwater Port of Savannah

Each round-trip container moved via the ARP will offset 710 truck miles on Georgia highways

Sits on 42 acres in Northwest Georgia’s Murray County.

The facility has a capacity of 50,000 containers per year. A 10-year development plan will then double that capacity.

Exclusive CSX service on a direct, 388-mile rail route to/from Garden City Terminal.

Site features easy access to Interstate 75 and U.S. 411, as well as direct rail service to Savannah.

Terminal gate hours

In-bond shipments

By U.S. Customs and Border Protection regulations, import loaded containers may depart Savannah and move in-bond to the
Appalachian Regional Port under appropriate carrier’s bond. In-bond shipments may be cleared at a CBP port of entry, bonded
warehouse, or Foreign Trade Zone designated facility. In-bond shipments will not be cleared by CBP at the Appalachian Regional Port.
